Navy-Style Buckwheat

Directions

1. 1

   Step 1

   

   Rinse the groats several times under running water. Peel the onion. Prepare a meat grinder.

   Step 2

   

   Pour 400 ml of water into a pot and add salt. Add the buckwheat. Place the pot over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook the groats, covered, for 15 minutes.

   TipDo not lift the lid during cooking. This way, the groats will not only boil but also steam. The porridge will be even more tender. After cooking, you can add a piece of butter to it.

   Pass the beef through a meat grinder. Season with salt and pepper, add to the onion. Cook, stirring occasionally and breaking up lumps, until done. The meat should change color and brown.

   TipYou can chop the beef finely by hand instead of grinding it. Then the meat pieces will be distinctly noticeable in the dish.
